Vista RDP saving logon credentials
Here is my issue. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium laptop that I am trying to do remote desktop to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server. When I make the connection it is to a dynamic host which is southerntaxsvs.dyndns.org.

I have no problems with a Vista Business 64-bit computer either. One would generally avoid a Home computer for business use. Is it possible to use a proper computer? Can you blank out the name and type in tsmith? This part I cannot tell, because I don't have the problem. I tried it as well on my XP Pro computer, and no issue. I would like to assist but I cannot replicate the problem. ... Thinkpads_User
One thing you might try (Oh how I wish I could edit posts): Pull up RDP, click on Options to expand the dialogue window, and uncheck the button that says Allow me to save credentials.

There is no way this person is going to spring for a new pc and I have to just try and make it work. I have tried to edit the credentials, it will let me change the user name but will still leave the domain name. Have also tried to uncheck the box that says to save credentials and that does not help either. I am going to try and add a line to the hosts file that points the dynamic name to the domain name on the laptop and see where that takes me. Any more suggestions??
